As for the content, the question is whether they make the case that "social" is not done, that it is moving beyond "the holy trinity" of Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. And the answer is... maybe? "Not only are we seeing the rise of innovative new social networks... but having a social component has become a powerful acquisition and retention tool for every consumer product, across education, shopping, fitness, food, entertainment, and more." But is this monetized and marketed social what we want, or simply what we're getting?
